June 2025 Toes with Style: Beautiful Nail Trends with French Tips & Simple Silver Rings

Summer is upon us and so is the time for open-toe sandals and pedicures. If you’re ready to level up your nail game, these June 2025 Toes with Style are all you need. From minimalist white polish to playful French tips and chic simple silver accents, this guide is packed with trend-forward looks you’ll want to screenshot ASAP. Time to discover your perfect summer vibe? Let’s dive in.

Black Glam with a Wild Twist

I’m obsessed with the way that this nail design brings a classic black pedicure to life instantly. The big toe is the star of the show with a glittery silver-and-black zebra swirl that is part edgy, part elegant. It’s bold, but not loud. The surrounding toes, mirrored-gloss jet black, ground things down – ideal for summer nights in strappy sandals or barefoot brunches in a rooftop.

To recreate this beautiful look, you’ll want a high-pigment black gel like OPI’s “Black Onyx” and a fine detailing brush for those zebra curves. I applied a silver sparkle polish, such as “Set in Stones” by Essie Gel Couture, over a thin nude base to add just enough sparkle to shimmer in the sun, but still feel elevated.

If you’re going DIY, apply your black base first and cure it fully. Then, use a tiny striping brush, and dip it into your silver polish, and draw fine waves for the zebra effect. The trick is to keep your hand light and your lines irregular. Top coat everything with a high gloss top coat. Don’t hurry the cure – it will make or break that clean finish.

This is the type of nail I’d wear when I want to feel a little fierce but not maximalist. There’s something sexy about letting your toes do the talking, especially when you’re sliding into open-toe heels. And yes, animal print for summer is still going strong – Mecca Moore, beauty editor at Essence, reported recently that zebra and cheetah designs are the new neutrals. Couldn’t agree more.

Soft Lilac Simplicity

This shade of soft lilac? It’s what lavender fields in Provence must feel like—peaceful, delicate, and utterly perfect for early summer. The toes are all painted with a pastel that is slightly cool, with a creamy glass shine. It’s minimalistic but expressive, which is a dream choice for a person who adores a simple silver toe ring or a fresh pair of white slides.

I chose “Lilacism” by Essie—it’s a cult classic for a reason. This formula is buttery smooth and even if your toes aren’t perfectly buffed, it levels out beautifully. No wild artistry is required here. the color sets the whole vibe.

Painting pastels on toes, I always begin with a ridge-filling base coat (Orly Bonder), two thin coats of color, and end with a UV topcoat to seal the gloss in. It is particularly important for light shades – they chip faster if not sealed properly.

This color is my default when I want a “clean girl aesthetic” moment, but still, I put in effort. I’ve worn it to a casual weekend brunch, even to a baby shower, and it somehow worked for both. If you’re hunting for something that feels modern but timeless, this lilac is your best bet for June 2025 Toes with Style.

Playful Strawberry Pop

If this pedi doesn’t cry “I’m on vacation”, I don’t know what does. Bright red polish, in the form of ripe strawberries, with green leafy tips and dotted seeds? It’s playful in the best way, and really, a mood-booster. The accent of rings indian style gives a little more summer flair.

To pull this off, you’ll need a vibrant red like Sally Hansen’s “Cherry on Top,” a detailed dotting tool for the seeds, and a fine brush for the leafy tips. A sheer pink base for the smaller toes creates a little contrast without clashing.

Application-wise, I began with the pink base coat, topped two coats of red on the big toe, and used a green gel polish to paint the leafy edges upward. I ended up with white dots to imitate seeds and then topped it off with a glossy top coat for that fruit-fresh finish. Yes, it does require time – but it’s so worth it.

I wore this to a picnic last summer and received more compliments than I ever expected on my toes. It is youthful, not childish, and in the age of dopamine dressing, why shouldn’t our pedicures join in the fun?

Ruby Elegance with a Gem Accent

There’s something forever chic about red nails, especially if they’re dressed up with a little sparkle. This style maintains it clean and sophisticated with a real ruby red on all toes. The standout moment? That little row of gem studs over the big toe – a whisper of glam, not a shout.

For this design I love “Big Apple Red” by OPI for its classic richness. The stones are from Kiss’s nail gem set—easy to apply with nail glue or gel base. You will also need a precision tweezer to place them down one by one. It’s fiddly yes, but it holds beautifully.

To apply, polish as usual, cure, then place a little line of nail glue along the top of the nail before adding the gems. Press them in gently, cure again and seal with a thick top coat. If done right, they’ll sit tight through sandy beaches and long walks.

Personally, I reserve this for weddings, dinners or if I want to feel like I’ve got my life together even if I’m just wearing flip-flops. The sparkle speaks of luxury, not of loudness.

Glossy Mocha Neutrals

If you’re a nail korean minimalism believer, this glossy mocha brown pedicure is about to become your new obsession. It’s understated but classy – neutral that compliments every skin tone and somehow looks even better with a golden tan.

For this, I chose “Down to Earth” by Olive & June – it has that milky cocoa finish without going muddy. One coat was nice, but two coats made it pop. No nail art is required here – this shade is the style.

I skipped nail stickers or stones here and concentrated on getting a perfect finish. Clean prep, square shapes and a glassy top coat were the key. If you’re into quiet luxury, this one checks every box.

This is what I have been using as my everyday favorite. It’s the definition of versatile. Whether I’m wearing sneakers, sandals, or barefoot on the grass—this tone gives me soft confidence. You feel polished, even when you’re doing nothing.

Daisy Fresh on Blue Skies

Blue skies and daisies? Yes, please. This cute floral pattern is the perfect amount of playful for a white summer closet or airy linen outfits. The light blue base is soft, airy and immediately sends me to vacation mode.

I applied “Saltwater Happy” by Essie as a base and hand-painted the daisies with a white striping polish and a small dotting tool that was dipped in yellow. Simple, but impactful.

If you’re not ready to hand-paint, try daisy nail stickers and seal with a gel top coat. Just press them into a bit tacky polish and cure – no smudges, no stress.

This is my style of choice when I want to feel good. It’s cheerful but not excessive. I wore it last weekend with a flowy dress and a friend actually said it made her smile. Sometimes it’s the little things – a tiny flower on your toes – that will give you that summer glow.

Holographic Rainbow Dream

This pedicure is a full-on kaleidoscope moment – and I’m not mad about it. Each toe boasts a unique pastel colour with a shimmering beautiful iridescent overlay. There’s pink, lime green, lavender, coral, even opal white – it’s giving cosmic unicorn meets 2000s jelly sandals. And with the sun striking all the changes in shade, this look actually accessorizes itself.

To achieve this magic, I drew a combination of polishes: Orosa’s Desert Flame for the color base and “Fairy Lights” by Holo Taco on top for that dimensional glow. You can also try chrome powder pressed over gel if you want a stronger holographic effect.

I didn’t attempt to match the colors, it was more of a free-spirited grab and paint session. But consistency in finish is the key. Apply the same topcoat on all toes to bring everything together. This style is “poolside in Palm Springs” energy and goes perfectly with open-toe heels and rings.

Berry-Tipped French Elegance

Why should French be boring? This version is the classic dipped in deep cherry red. The clean nude base is crowned with a glossy burgundy tip—just like your favorite French mani, but reinvented for toes with a sultry twist. It’s a little bit of understated confidence with a side of wine-and-dine.

I applied “Ballet Slippers” by Essie for the base and “Malaga Wine” by OPI for the tip. The separation was done with a striping brush, but I have also used French tip nail stickers in the past when I wanted something foolproof.

This design is really good for short square nails, don’t overthink it. Just make the tip thin, crisp, and let the rest of the polish shine. If you’re ever not sure about bright colours, this is a safe way to flirt with them. And yes, it’s a vibe for 2025.

Shimmery Seafoam Shift

In between sea glass and mermaid-core exists this ethereal color of seafoam shimmer. The polish is a dreamy blue with greenish undertones which almost glow under the light. It is nail korean to me – elevated minimalism, with just a hint of fantasy.

For this glow, I turned to “Mint Condition” by Lights Lacquer—it’s vegan, lasts a long time, and has that pearly micro-shine baked into the formula. No glitter here, just creamy shimmer which is wet even when it is dry.

What I like about this tone is how versatile it is. I’ve worn it with white linen pants and with a bronze swimsuit and both worked. It’s ideal for a person who does not want “loud” but wants something.

Minimalist Marble with Gold Foil

This design is pure art. A simple pedi becomes a little luxury statement with a white marble base and fine gray veining and random splashes of gold foil. It has a European spa feel to it – clean, calming and chic.

To do this, I used “Blanc” by Essie for the base and a gray watercolor polish by Born Pretty to create the marble veins. The gold foil flakes were applied with a gel base coat – dab, press, cure. Seal everything with a hard gel sealer for more shine and wear.

Frankly, this one gives me the feeling that I just returned from a five-star retreat in Santorini. There is a certain elegance about this style that complements a silver toe ring or a flowy silk wrap dress nicely.

Matching Merlot for Hands & Toes

There is no better thing than a coordinated mani-pedi and this rich merlot color is here to slay. The rich, deep, wine red polish on both fingers and toes gives me polished boss energy – lowkey luxe with a side of cool-girl chic. Bonus points for the styling with dainty rings indian and ankle jewelry.

This shade? It’s “Spiked with Style” by Sally Hansen Miracle Gel. And it remains in place – no chips, no dulling. This shade will pop beautifully if you have deep skin tone. on lighter skin it feels sultry and elegant.

There’s something strong about going monochrome on fingers and toes. It makes me feel as though I have my life together even if I’m two coffees deep and late for everything.

Classic French with a Whisper

Let’s not forget about the classic French pedicure. This one’s been kept in a very faint pink as the base and layered the thinnest white tips over every toe. It’s minimalistic, sleek, and can be worn with anything: from pool slides to strappy heels.

I tend to use “Mademoiselle” by Essie for the base, and then a thin line of “Alpine Snow” over the top. French tips on toes are more difficult than fingers, therefore I use a curved nail guide sticker if I want perfect symmetry.

This is the look I put on when I want to be “done” without trying too hard. It’s perfect for a wedding guest, for weekend brunch, or even for an impromptu beach day. Bonus: it appears insane with white sandals.

Rosy Blush and Champagne Sparkle

This is the quietly luxurious look that I would describe. Most of the toes are coated in blush-toned gel, one is fully glittered in soft champagne, and the big toe? It is decorated with a perfect arc of small simple silver studs. It’s soft, feminine, and sparkly enough to get noticed, but not in a pushy way.

To recreate this one “Barefoot and Topless” by Essie creates a dreamy pink base, and for the glitter? I swear by “Sugar Daddy” from The Gel Bottle. I finished it off with a no wipe gloss gel and applied the studs using a drop of clear builder gel and a crystal picker.

This is one of those pedis I grab when I’m completely clueless as to what to wear but I want my toes to look as if they belong in a perfume ad. With rings or anklets, it instantly raises any sandal.

Crimson Blossoms on Nude

Talk about summer statement. This French design is bold with scarlet tips and 3D daisy florals with crystal centers. It’s fresh, it’s decorative and it has the kind of handcrafted feel that makes it ideal for beach weddings or garden brunches. The combination with layered rings indian really adds to the playful glam energy.

For this set, I used “Forever Yummy” by Essie for the bright red tips and nude gel for the base. The flowers? 3D nail art gel in white and red. You will need a flat silicone tool and patience, but these last for weeks and are so worth it.

It’s one of my personal summer favorites as it brings me vacation vibes even if I’m just at a backyard barbecue. Plus, people always see the flowers.

Maximalist Butterfly Garden

This design is a full blown explosion of color, detail and joy. Each of the toes is a little masterpiece in itself: Pastel butterflies, marbled swirls, gems, even small painted petals. It’s crazy in the best way and so on-brand for anyone living in the dopamine beauty era.

You’ll need several pastel gel polishes – I used ones from the DND Daisy collection – and builder gel for the 3D butterflies. The swirls were painted with a fine brush and wet-on-wet blending. Don’t be shy over the top here. Maximalist is the whole point.

It was over an hour and a half to do this design, but honestly, it felt like therapy. I added rings to complete the look and whenever I would look down I would smile. Sometimes the best pedicures are those that just make you happy.

Lemon Sorbet & Crystal Bloom

This design provides sunshine in a pedicure. Yellow angled tips? Check. Tiny crystal daisies? Double check. It’s fun, it’s lighthearted, and it’s perfect for anyone who wants to leave a neutral rut behind. The contrast with pale natural nail beds makes it soft and wearable.

To achieve that perfect lemon-yellow, “Bee-utiful” by Le Mini Macaron does the job. I used the tips freehand with a fine liner brush, and added rhinestones and pearl accents from Daily Charme to create the floral pattern.

This mani is the “flirty sundress” of pedicures. Wear it with white slides or gold anklets and you’ll receive compliments on both sides. I’ve worn this one on pool days, and it shines like crazy in the sun.

Cherry Pop Delight

This gorgeous cherry inspired pedi is giving sweet and cheeky energy. The bright red on most toes is punchy and fun, but it’s the miniature painted cherry clusters on the big toes that make it that extra special. It’s cute in the best way and shouts “summer crush”.

The red polish that I used was “Big Apple Red” by OPI and the cherry art was created using detail brush with green and red gel paint. I dot the red cherries first, cure, then draw the tiny stems for dimension.

I wore this pedicure to a weekend market, and no lie, two different girls stopped to ask me about it. It’s flirty without trying too hard and looks especially cute peeking out of white linen pants or denim cutoffs.

Classic Noir Chic

Simplicity has power and this solid black pedicure is proof. It’s bold, sleek and unmistakably cool. This look is giving “I woke up like this” but also “don’t mess with me” and it is a no fuss polish choice with glossy payoff. It’s timeless and works with simple silver jewelry like a dream.

I wear “Licorice” by Essie every time I go black—it’s opaque in two coats and the shine is great. For a perfect finish, apply two thin coats, cure completely and finish with a no wipe gloss.

There’s something about black polish that grounds me. It’s a reset. When I don’t know what I want, I always return to this. Bonus – it’s universal and elegant for all shoes, from combat boots to kitten heels.

Geometric Pink and Black Chic

This is a new remix of the French pedicure, pink glossy bases with sharp black triangles that meet at each corner of the nail. It’s architectural but not harsh and has that quiet luxe feel with a twist. Feminine but graphic? I’m obsessed.

To get this look (pun intended), I applied a soft pink gel from Modelones and painted the black corners freehand with a fine detail brush. Matte topcoat might be edgy here, but I went with gloss for that ultra-finished shine.

This one especially feels elevated with open-toe mules and a plain silver toe ring. When I wore it to dinner in the city, I literally had someone ask me where I got my toes done.

Liquid Chrome Electric Blue

If you haven’t tasted this mirror-glazed electric blue, you must. It’s bold, it’s futuristic, and it gleams like polished metal. I love a color that catches the light and won’t let you forget it—and this one does it easily at the toes.

For this, I used Born Pretty’s magnetic chrome polish in “Sapphire Shift” with a glossy gel topcoat. In order to obtain the full reflection effect, I applied a no-wipe top layer and buffed in chrome pigment over cured gel.

I wore this look on a hot June day in linen pants and black sandals, and it gave main character energy. Chrome toes are on trend hard for 2025, and frankly? I’m ready to collect them in every color.

Matte Noir & Retro Dots

Minimal and vintage collide here, and it is wildly satisfying. Matte black nails with micro white polka dots pay a soft homage to ‘50s fashion but in a clean, modern way. Throw in that chunky, artsy ring and it is a complete aesthetic.

I used a matte black gel from Cirque Colors, then dotted on the white using a dotting tool and Gelish “Arctic Freeze.” Maintain the dots equally spaced and of equal size for that crisp effect.

This is the type of pedicure that I get when I want something bold but not “loud”. I’d pair it with a black outfit and minimal silver jewelry – clean, cool and a little artsy, but not too much.

Metallic Bows & Cream Gloss

Creamy base with golden metallic bows and mirrored accents? Yes, please. This look is subtle with a dash of drama. It’s that bridal-meets-editorial vibe, like a runway look, but down to earth for sandals and brunch.

The cream base is “Vanilla Marshmallow” from The Gel Bottle. For the 3D bow design I used metallic gold striping gel and thin liner brush. The other toes were buffed with chrome gold mirror pigment over a gel layer for a high shine effect.

I would use this design with soft neutrals or satin textures. It’s really beautiful with champagne or beige tones and would be great for a special event – wedding guest, perhaps?

Cabernet Crush

There’s something about dark wine tones that instantly lift a pedi. This burgundy color is deep, moody and screams elegance. It’s also remarkably seasonless – works in summer just as well as in fall. And it fits so well with both white slides and gold jewelry.

My favorite here was “Russian Roulette” by OPI, two coats for full opacity, and a high-gloss gel top. It’s bold, but not too dark and feels almost like velvet when the sun hits it.

I feel more polished in this, even if I’m going to the grocery store. It’s low-effort luxe and, yes, I’ve had it matched with a lip color more than once.

Petal-Tipped Summer Bloom

This pedicure is summer in flower form – literally. Each toe is covered with a juicy mauve-pink polish and the big toe is given an upgraded French twist with a 3D petal flower held down by gem sparkle. Extra points for the glitter accent of the pinky toe that ties everything up.

I used “Raspberry Beret” by Gelish as the base. For the French tips, I freehanded a swoop with white gel and applied the 3D petals using builder gel shaped with a silicone tool. Rhinestones were fixed with topcoat to remain in place for the entire week.

This one is for the girls that like a little glitz but not all over the place. I wore this set for a weekend birthday brunch and received more compliments on my toes than my outfit – true story.

Conclusion

These June 2025 Toes with Style prove that a pedicure can be more than just a clean-up—it’s a mood, a moment, and sometimes, a main character. Whether it’s soft French finishes or bold chrome or playful dots, each design has its own summer vibe. Therefore, which look are you experimenting first?
